Please review XCB protocol descriptions

As the XCB team prepares for the release of XCB 1.0 and Xlib/XCB with
Xorg 7.2, we would like to request a review of the XML-XCB descriptions
of the X protocol in the xcb/proto module, and the corresponding
structures and functions generated when by XCB's c-client.xsl when built.

We would like to correct any incorrect portions of the protocol
descriptions before release, to avoid needing to change the sonames of
the XCB extension libraries; we would like to correct omissions as well,
but those wouldn't cause a soname change.  We would particularly like
review of the core protocol (xproto), bigreq, and xc_misc protocol
descriptions, as those become part of libxcb when built, rather than a
separate extension library.

You can obtain the protocol descriptions via GIT from
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xcb/proto; you can obtain the source and
header files XCB builds from these by either obtaining and building
libxcb from GIT at git://anongit.freedesktop.org/xcb/libxcb, or checking
the versions shipped in the 1.0 RC1 distribution tarball.

Thank you,
Josh Triplett, on behalf of the XCB team
